【Chapter 432】 Lightning Golden Saber vs Coiling Dragon
"Stop——Three hours have passed, time has come!"
Just as Xu Chu and Zhao Yun were running and rushing, Huan Fei rode his horse to the front of them, blocking the middle with an iron rod in his hand, shouting loudly.
Seeing Huan Fei standing in front of him, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu finally woke up from the fierce battle and calmed down.
"Huhuhuhu———Bang!"
Then they opened their mouths and gasped, then threw away the weapons in their hands and sat on the ground.
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Xu and the others were sweating profusely, panting as if they were oxen, sitting on the ground without any image, spreading their legs and restoring their strength as if no one was around. Until the breath slowed down, they looked up at each other and laughed happily.
draw!
Just as Li Li, Guo Jia, Huan Fei and others expected, Zhao Yun and Xu Chu fought for 160 rounds, but in the end they were still in a draw.
In this battle, Xu Chu was extremely powerful, skilled in swordsmanship, and superb riding skills. He had the opportunity to win Zhao Yun with his own strength, and he got the lead when he started. Unfortunately, this advantage was quickly resolved by Zhao Yun, which prevented him from further expanding his advantage. Then, as the two fought for hundreds of rounds, Zhao Yun fought with Xu Chu with his exquisite spear skills, which tempted Xu Chu's strength to consume a lot, so that when the final duel, Zhao Yun's strength was already on par with him.
In this way, the two finally got a draw, no matter how good or bad it was.
Relatively speaking, Zhao Yun's strength is obviously inferior to Xu Chu, but his shooting skills are exquisite and his riding skills are not inferior to Xu Chu at all. With this verse alone, he had the opportunity to defeat Xu Chu. However, this battle was a head-on battle between the two sides, and Xu Chu's own swordsmanship was also very exquisite. He had both offense and defense, without any flaws.
In this way, the two sides fought head-on, without any obstruction, no one to take care of or cover, so that even though Zhao Yun was extremely exquisite in his shooting skills, he had no opportunity to take advantage of. The combination of many factors prompted them to fight for a long time. However, no one could do anything about each other. The strength was equal, and the outcome was not judged, so he could only stop the battle by a draw.
—————————————————
In the afternoon, after lunch, everyone in the Zhao family sat in the hall and had a short rest.
The first battle took more than an hour. Then the second battle between Xu Chu and Zhao Yun took more than three hours. After two battles, most of the day passed quietly, and the third battle could only be postponed until the evening.
This is because everyone started the competition early in the morning and set a time limit in advance, otherwise it would be not enough for two rounds to come.
In the main hall, Zhao Yu, Fan Juan and Ma Yunluo were cooking tea while listening to Li Li and others talking.
Li Li sat in the first place on the left, while Zhao Yun sat next to him, while Li Xuan, Guo Jia, Huan Fei and others sat at will.
After a cup of tea, Zhao Yun asked Li Li respectfully: "Master, the first two sets have passed. Next is the third set. I wonder who the lord is going to let the formation?"
"Hahaha!" Li Li said with a smile and turned his head to look at Zhao Yun, and said with a smile: "Zilong is very skilled in martial arts and is already a top expert in the world. In time, he may be among the top strong people. Now Zilong wins and draws one by one, and is invincible, and he is sure to win. Therefore, I don't have to compete in the third formation anymore; even if Long Luo loses in the third formation, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the marriage between Siam and his younger sister is still indecisive, and it is useless to fight again."
"Uh, this,,,,,,,,," Zhao Yun was shocked when he heard this, and was speechless for a moment. Then he thought, things were indeed as Li Li said.
Now there are two generals around Li Li who have not yet fought. Huan Fei and Li Zhi, both of whom are top-notch. Needless to say, Huan Fei had competed with the elder brother once before, and knew that his elder brother's martial arts was better than him. As for Li Zhi, Huan Fei once admitted in front of Zhao Yun that he had no confidence in defeating Li Zhi, and he might even lose. In this way, the third battle is really no longer necessary, and the outcome has been decided.
"Brother Wenchang, do you know if you should say something or not?" Just as Zhao Yun was thinking secretly, Zhao Yu slowly walked to Li Li and bowed to salute.
Li Li smiled and said, "It's okay for me to talk, there is no need to avoid it. I'll listen carefully."
"Thank you, brother." Zhao Yu bowed slightly, then stood up and said, "My sister heard what Brother Wenchang said just now. The two sides had discussed the three formations to determine the winner and lose. Now the two formations have passed, but the outcome has not been decided. In my opinion, the third formation will continue. If the brother still wins, then the marriage agreed to have been discussed separately; if the brother loses, the third formation competition will be the winner of Wenchang. My sister is willing to fulfill the previous agreement and get engaged with General Li Xian. I wonder what the brother wants?"
"Oh?" Li Li pondered, stared at Zhao Yu's expression with his eyes, and asked softly: "My sister's implication is that the previous two competitions are put on hold, and the outcome will be determined by the third formation. If the battle is decided in one battle, the engagement will be decided?"
"That's right." Zhao Yu nodded and said, "Previously, my brother was not good at fighting, and then almost defeated my fourth brother Chen Dao. In the second round, he tied with the second brother Xu. After two rounds, my brother had some advantages, but he couldn't help but be a little reluctant. Therefore, my younger sister's intention was to take the third round as the basis, and win or lose in one battle."
"Hahaha!" Li Li asked with a laugh, "Yu'er's words are serious? What's Zilong's intention?"
Zhao Yu nodded with a smile, then turned his head and nodded to Zhao Yun.
Seeing that his sister nodded in agreement, Zhao Yun naturally had no objection and immediately said, "This was raised by Yuer himself, so there will be no objection in the end."
Li Li smiled and nodded, saying to Zhao Yu: "Yu'er, since you have made such a suggestion and Zilong agreed, then according to what you said, the battle will decide the winner and lose. I have said before that Feihu and Zicheng will not participate in the battle, and then in this third formation, no one is Zilong's opponent. Since that's the case, then let me fight myself!"
After a brief tone, when Zhao Yun saw Zhao Yun and his brother and sister were full of shocked expressions, Li Li continued to explain: "This three-war appointment is to talk to my younger brother Li Xian. As the elder brother, I have no choice but to do my best. Before that, Shu Zhi and Zhongkang fought one after another, and it was my turn to go out in the third formation. Hahaha!"
"Ah!" As soon as Li Li said this, everyone in the hall was shocked, among which Zhao Yu and Zhao Yun were the most surprised.
"Lord, how can I fight with the lord? Please take back your life!" Zhao Yun suddenly stood up, bowed and said with a big change in his face.
Li Li reached out and helped Zhao Yun up and said with a smile: "Zilong's words are wrong. I will discuss Yu'er's marriage with you, and discuss the matter with you. You are the parents of the woman, and I represent the man. We are now equal in identities. Since we have equal identities, what's wrong with us competing and exchanging martial arts?
What's more, I just said that this time I was talking to my brother and Yu'er, and I had to take on everything. I had agreed to the three agreements that Yu'er had made. Now it's time to fulfill the promise. I will fight on behalf of my brother, which is reasonable. In addition, the reason why Yu'er proposed the three-in-one martial arts competition was to know how my brother Li Xian's martial arts were and whether he had the ability to protect himself on the battlefield. It just so happened that I practiced martial arts together with my brother since childhood, and the martial arts and weapons I learned and used were the same. Therefore, it was perfect for me to fight on behalf of my brothers.
This matter is decided, Zilong doesn’t need to worry too much, even if he does his best. If you can defeat me, not only will you be wrong, but you will be rewarded afterwards. You will be promoted to General of the Central Army and stationed on the border to lead troops to fight. Hahaha!"
"This,,,,,,,,,,,, still feels inappropriate." Zhao Yun said with a very hesitant expression and embarrassed.
Li Li's expression on his face was indeed very relaxed, with a gentle smile, and he smiled distractedly: "Zilong doesn't need to hesitate, I have decided. To be honest, since the battle at Dongshankou three years ago, I have not competed with others for a long time. Especially for top experts like Zilong, they are hard to come by. If they can fight, it would be a great pleasure!"
Seeing that Zhao Yun was still hesitating, Huan Fei suddenly interrupted, "Don't hesitate, just respond quickly. Do you think your lord's martial arts skills are not as good as you? If you really think so, then you are very wrong!
The lord is a rare martial arts genius in the world. His rapid progress in martial arts and high martial arts skills really amazed us and beyond our reach!
Three years ago, when I first met my lord, he suffered a severe blow after dozens of rounds. However, after half a year, the lord slashed three hundred swords in less than half an hour, making me kneel down and beg for mercy and bow to the Lord. Now three years have passed, even Zicheng and I don’t know how advanced my lord’s martial arts are. However, I can clearly feel that my lord’s martial arts have entered the house, becoming more successful, with a restrained aura, and usually people can’t see any clues.
If the third brother can defeat the lord today, I will give you half of the five hundred heavy armored personal soldiers under the tent. Do what you say for me, and never break your promise!"
Seeing that his lord Li Li actually went to fight in person, Huan Fei was very excited and flirted with joy when he spoke. In order to encourage Zhao Yun to fight with his lord, he even did not hesitate to take out his carefully trained personal soldiers to bet. This shows that Huan Fei really invested a lot and was eager to promote this battle.
"This,, then, okay, the last general will take the order!" After hearing the words of his elder brother Huan Fei, Zhao Yun was finally moved, bowed and agreed to fight Li Li.
"Hahaha!" Li Li laughed and said, "Okay, Zilong rests for another hour. When the sun sets in the evening, I will fight you!"
After seeing Zhao Yun nodding in agreement, Li Li added: "In this competition, I will fight Zilong for one hour. If it is tied, Zilong will win; if I win by chance, Yuer and Siam will be decided, and I will get married this fall. I wonder if you brother and sister have any objections?"
"It depends on Brother Wenchang (lord)!" Zhao Yu and Zhao Yun looked at each other and then responded in unison.
